Welcome to Inferncenem!

Written by CoolG1319

You find yourself standing at the edge of a seemingly bottomless pit, surrounded by darkness. Suddenly, a small pink flame ignites just inches from your face, its light quickly growing until it towers above you. Delicate wisps of fire weave together to form a mouth that cheerfully addresses you.

  "Greetings, new soul. Let me offer you a brief tour of this realm before your inevitable damnation."

  The entity envelops you and swiftly propels you away in the blink of an eye.

What is Inferncenem?

This is Hell for all human sinners—a fiery, lava-filled desolate place of damnation and suffering. But do not let that be a deterrent. Go a bit further, over the wide chasm here and find colourful acid lakes, huge structures of liquid nitrogen, gorgeous lava falls, lots of meadows and many unique and interesting species waiting to be explored.

How This Realm Came To Be

It is said that millions of years ago, our demonic god Asonefhpu Zutnebas and the angelic god Ameuses held a friendly contest to determine who could create a better realm for sapient creatures.
  Asonefhpu used fire, lava, brimstone, various metals, and bits of His body to craft the land and creatures. The creation of this world spanned four days with the remaining three being for rest.
  I would tell you the full tale, but there is no time.

Who Are Asomesomahy?

In other words, The Pantheon, the rulers and creators of this realm. It consists of seven gods, in order of hierarchy:
  Asonefhpu Zutnebas, Supreme God
Ynlawnx, Goddess of Love, Lust and Temptation
Zhir, Goddess of Children and Fertility
Nxwedaye, God of the Dead
Quro, God of Deals and Bargaining
Asunx, God of Luck and Chance
Pleltus, Trickster Goddess

Notable Locations

Now, let me show a few places of noteworthiness.

Merga Miriniay

A seemingly bottomless abyss serving as the home of sinners, and it is where I first found you. It's a truly horrible place found on the outskirts of this realm, where the unfortunate souls of human wrongdoers are punished for their sins through unending torture and anguish.
  It is also the domain of Nxwedaye, God of the Dead.

Erus Nefhpu

Territory of Demons
  There, one can find colourful meadows, dazzling acid lakes, breathtaking lavafalls and massive ice structures.
  It is divided into four smaller territories: Qada Agir, Qada Elti, Qada Semich and Qada Dolt.

Erus Nefhsewi

Territory of Demonic Entities
  Discover settlements ranging in size from cities to villages, each special in its own way.
  This area is the richest in terms of culture, civilisation, technology and assets, among other things.

Elkhowumyd

Place of Spirits
  It is nothing but an endless and confusing maze where various kinds of spirits aimlessly roam for the rest of time, waiting for any beings who dare to approach them.
  Any sane being will tell you to stay far away from this place for a good reason.

What Creatures Live Here?

Mainly three types of creatures reside in this realm.

Demons

Mainly winged and horned creatures that come in all shapes and sizes and are related to certain natural elements: fire, acid, ice, etc.
  Of the three beings, they are generally the least dangerous but one must still be wary when interacting with them.

 

Demonic Entities

Beings that have no general features. They take whatever form they choose whether it be an existing creature, one considered fictitious or even one that does not or yet to exist!
  They have the most "human" societies and are generally indifferent beings.

 

Spirits

Either exist on their own or within demonic entities. Their behaviour and personalities range from kind and benign to malicious and destructive.
  These beings can be summoned and bargained with, so be very careful if you choose to do so.

 

Who Are the Sagirten Seytan

The most prominent religious group (or cult, if you want) here. Their goal is to unite Inferncenem under the doctrine of Asonefhpu and Asomesomahy as a whole.

How exactly they operate is a mystery, but it is known that every four days, five of their members march through each settlement, preaching The Word.

They also possess the Pirtuka Rastnivsan Seytan, an ancient spell book supposedly owned by Asonefhpu Himself. It is said to contain extensive detail on different spirits, how to summon them, whether or not one can bargain with them, the cost of doing so, etc.

Important Conflicts

The Falling Out

A terrible event that had occurred during another friendly feast between demons and angels.
  After the reveal of an angel's infidelity, a heated argument erupted between the angel's sister and her husband, who was a demon. The sister killed the demon, and in retaliation, she was killed by the demon's brother. This conflict escalated into a full-blown massacre, with the family and friends of the couple and even innocent guests becoming casualties.
  In the end, hundreds of people lost their lives. All because of an angel's disloyalty. Unbelievable. Since then, we halted all interactions with those damned angels.

The Great Assault

It was a slaughter of humans by a horde of evil spirits. Their reasoning for the massacre is unknown even to this day but knowing them, it was certainly out of malice.
  The Great Assault is by far the bloodiest attack in history, with the death toll being in the millions.
  What happened afterwards was strange. The spirits involved were banished to an unknown section of Inferncenem. Only a few beings, myself included, know where that is.
"Lest I forget, my name is Qy. Apologies for not introducing myself earlier. My mission is to guide and navigate you through this realm. You will surely like it here! As for your damnation, well, I will make sure that won't happen. You seem quite nice. However, before that, you must undergo a special ritual that would ensure your stay."
  With a sudden swiftness, Qy pivots and soars into the distance, taking you along for the journey.

First off: I really like the opening passage; it's very evocative. I appreciate the overall framing of it, presented to the reader in-universe by this fiery guide with a certain cadence. Overall a good primer; everything you need to know at base is nicely explained and neatly organized!   Personally I think it could benefit from an author's note section discussing the themes of the work, if there are any, but if you've already done a World Meta that works too. :)
